If you are trying to trace information about a former Napierian, please feel free to Contact Us with your enquiry and we will do as much as we can to help.
Regrettably, as far as we are aware, no Napier Company employee records survive.
We do have over 3,000 employees recorded on our Napierian Roll of Honour – details here. Information recorded here has been gleaned from Company, apprentice, promotional material and newspaper records. Whenever people Contact Us about a relative who worked for the Company we are always pleased to add their name to this growing tribute.
Quite often Census records describe the person’s occupation and we can often provide clearer information about what your relative did and what their workplace looked like. This often makes interesting reading in your family tree.
